Henry Threadgill today became the third (living) composer from the jazz world (or perhaps I should say coming out of, in part, a jazz space) to win a Pulitzer Prize for composition, after Wynton and Ornette. While this certainly doesn't speak to the viability of the jazz business, it does highlight the continued growth of the music, and (in my estimation, at least) and the still developing unleashing of creative energy by the now 50 year old A.A.C.M. (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in Chicago.
Although I have never met Henry and have only heard him about 10 times, this news really made my day:
